Why Register as a Volunteer?

Registering is the best way to find the right opportunity for you to make a difference and shine as a volunteer! You do not have to register to use the search function. However, registering is free and easy and in addition to offering the best match for your skills, interests and passions, it provides you with special benefits, including:

• Special opportunities (like free tickets to local events) for registered volunteers only
• Automatic emails of new opportunities specifically fitting your volunteer profile, as often as you like
• Access to our volunteer hour tracker, to help you achieve a Presidential Service Award (see recognition programs for more info) or to document your service hours for college applications
• Opportunities to share your experiences volunteering with other prospective volunteers through “reflections”
• Invitations to VCRI events
• Bi-annual newsletter and bi-monthly e-newsletters with important VCRI and volunteer related information

In addition, registering helps VCRI to provide generic information to our funders about who uses our website and how, which means you can actually help us to get additional funding with just a few clicks of the keyboard.  So register today and help VCRI help you make a difference in our community
